So just how effective can a horror film be if its title character spends most of his time in a coma? If that film is Patrick, the answer is...pretty damn effective!
A psychological thriller, Patrick succeeds in generating real fear for a character that never gets out of bed, a deeply disturbed young man who can control the world around him with his mind. Susan Penhaligon is very good as Patrick's nurse, but it's Robert Thompson as Patrick who you'll remember, despite the fact he does little more than lie in bed and stare.
An unnerving film with a truly shocking final scene, Patrick is one you won't want to miss.
